I don&#39;t like writing or talking about such matters either. <br /><br />So many people are all over Mr. Woods and my guess is that he is trying to protect his family—which is an honorable thing to do. <br /><br />Black Friday is just trouble I tell you. ;o)Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09479515041675909393noreply@blogger.com
